This inaugural event will feature high level discussions about investment opportunities in bonds carrying the green label and the challenges issuers may face in obtaining it. Attendees will develop a more crystallized idea of what a green bond is, its yield potential, and the benefits of issuing a green bond. We will also introduce the U.S. concept of Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing and its potential application in Europe. For the first time, this event will ultimately bridge together the sustainable finance community with IMN’s long standing ABS investor base.
Since Green Bond’s inception in 2007, the European Investment Bank alone has issued about EUR 18bn in green bonds (Climate Awareness Bonds) in various currencies, and the International Finance Corporation has issued $3.7 billion in green bonds helping to pioneer the market. Paired with Europe’s 2020 Project Bond Initiative, which will include funding for renewable energy projects, the market has outstanding growth potential, paving the way for the securitisation market to continue its rapid development.
